The Virgin and Child appearing before a Saint, in a sculpted cartouche, surrounded by a garland of roses, tulips, narcissi, carnations, morning glory and other flowers, with butterflies and a bee, on a ledge

Begin with a light sketch outlining the main shapes: the cartouche, the statues, and the overall floral arrangement.

Establish the dark background and the general placement of the central religious scene.

Block in the main colors of the flowers, starting with the larger shapes and working towards the smaller details.

Begin layering the petals of the roses and other flowers, paying attention to the way light and shadow define their forms.

Add details to the statues, focusing on their form and texture.

Refine the central religious scene, using subtle variations in tone to create depth.

Add the butterflies and bee, paying attention to their delicate forms and colors.

Apply final glazes to unify the painting and enhance the colors.
